Just got a UCAS update saying that I've been rejected because my UCAT score was not competitive. I had 2740 UCAT and band 2. I'm a little confused, is this genuinely that bad of a score to get rejected this early on?
Hi, sorry to hear about that :frown:

From what I've heard, Manchester grad med has a threshold of 2700 for the UCAT and they prioritise band 1 or 2. For interviews they rank applicants on UCAT score and SJT, so your score must have been just below their cutoff for interview... It's so competitive though, good luck with your other applications! Where else did you apply?

Oh no, I’m scared now because I got 2780, although I’ve not heard anything yet. I’m confused though because above 2700 last year got an automatic interview.
Both myself and my friend have applied here. She had ~2400 and was rejected last week. I have 2840 B1 and I am yet to hear if I have got an interview or anything
I applied GEM and got a 2770 UCAT. Got an invitation to interview, but the email is from "UG medicine." Does this mean the interview is not for GEM, or is it just sent from that email even for graduate students?

Hey I also recieved an interview with the same thing. I think it's just because GEM is still basically an undergrad degree
Congrats to those who have received invitation to interviews. May those who have been invited kindly list down your UCAT and Band - the info gathered will help future applicants. Many thanks!

Well done once again!

I've had a look at last yrs posts and they had the same thing of it not saying whether it was for a101 or a106. So I think we're fine
